Reply to "Ya can’t take’em with you, unfortunately."

In reading through these comments I have been trying to understand some of the truly strange responses.  Making sure no one get the fruits of my labor is the most unusual of all.  Imagine if Picasso had said to destroy all my paintings when I die.  Obviously people have made a great deal of money off his work but I think he had a pretty good life and not like to see his efforts destroyed.

I have a couple hundred grand in trains but I have been collecting for a long time and it was fairly painless money.  Also 2000+ cameras and many really large neon signs not to mention the really wired stuff. If the kids want they can just lock the building and let things sit.  They get the forty some odd buildings that I have had fun buying and restoring.  Don't get too excited, this is Harlingen, Texas.  They are not worth that much.  The point is, we bought these things because they meant something to us.  It is unlikely that most of it will mean the same thing to our heirs.  I know my kids like a lot of the stuff I have and they probably will not part with a lot of it.  If you don't think your heirs will appreciate the things that mean something to you, find a place or a person that will appreciate them.  The curb or a dumpster is not a reasonable option.

Yes, I realize that some people were joking.
